You'll be delighted to know that the NJ farming community is looking out for your best interest, in particular a group of like-minded individuals who formed the Northeast Organic Farmers Association (NOFA) New Jersey chapter. In doing so, they've created an organization which focuses on providing information, fun activities, and yes--produce, from the local farmers, interest groups, educators, and AGRO enthusiasts alike. We've said it numerous times, and I'll say it again: Without farmers, we wouldn't have clothes, food, or beverages. The same goes for all the small (and large) vendors who create goods and services to make those provisions available to all of us, and NOFA is aiming to bring all of them together so everyone can benefit from fresh organic goods, shelf-stable organic products, and so much more! You'll have a blast learning about NOFA , and stay tuned to find out some of the exciting events that NOFA is offering this Fall and Winter!

Casey and her husband, Chef Javier Villatoro, their farm-to-table restaurant offers delicious and creative selections that reflect Chef Vialltoro's heritage and culinary innovations from his own garden! He builds upon his menus each year by saving the seeds from what he harvested & used on his menu, which is something he learned while growing up in his hometown. Casey, who loves the benefit from having Chef Javier as her business partner and husband, shares the love behind what brings patrons to Coray Kitchen time and time again, along with the story behind the name, how they met, and what you'll experience when you join them for a meal. (https://www.coraykitchen.com) I last spoke with Victoria Lambert, who is a bio-lab technician who's taken her love of science and research into the kitchen when she started her business, Happy Bakery. Victoria first opened her bakery with one vision: Offering cinnamon buns that had creative flavors and options. She soon found success, as well as a need to re-imagine the offerings since she quickly sold-out of menu items on a daily basis. So today, you'll find those warm, fragrant buns along with other items to hit your sweet-loving spot, like fudgy brownies and dense cookies. Need I say more to tempt you? You can find where she's vending at by following her online on her instagram handle at @happybakerywc!
